Providers in the airport that are traveling. Could be the bottle of Mimosas I polished off but I have seen 3 providers at the airport in Boston. If I didn't have a fragile ego, I might strike up a conversation.

do exercise discreet thingy, chief.

They love that.  

I drive part-time for a ride share company and I have given rides to a couple of providers to and from hotels both in Boston and Providence.  Rides were given to a couple of agency girls and a few BP girls.  

If you get a blank look you have your answer, if you get either a slap in the face, a shy smirk, or an outright "yes", you have your answer as well.

... as Personal Airport Chariot to the Hookers.

Every time I pass through Chinatown I swear I see at least two dozens GFE masseuses (LOL)

I LOVE the game of who is a provider/client in airports or malls!! EVERYWHERE! (:  

every where I look. Old warped and repressed mind for you.

I do it all the time...spot the trick.

When that radar goes off you gotta admit that you can feel it...the temptation to ask! Lol.
Do you also sit with buddies in your inner circle and try to guess? I do!
It's part of people watching...another favorite hobby. Oh can you guess? Lol.
Too bad there isn't some sort of special handshake, lol.
Sort of like the bathroom tap in the gentleman's restroom, lol.
You can always think of creative ways to ask but I wouldn't recommend it.

In public...EOM

i said "eom" dude!  don't look here!

Re: And just how does one ask "are you a hooker" tactfully? -eom-

Lol!  On This particular time I was giving a provider a ride for the second time and she happened to remember me so the chat was easier.  I simply told her that even with the first ride I gave she looked vaguely familiar. I then asked if she was in local media or entertainment....and then smiled.  We both laughed and she replied " well...kind of, but I prefer to stay out of the media." One question led to another and at the end she thanked me for the chat (in general).  

I too try to detect providers in airports etc., but I think you overestimate the prominence of TER.  I'm sure a significant proportion of providers, especially agency providers, have not heard of TER.  Nothing wrong with mentioning TER but if you draw a blank look I don't think you can conclude she is not a provider.

has definitely made me more aware of other people's sexuality.  But it is inside my head, not a change in reality.  I don't think I can pick out hookers in an airport any more than I can pick out bankers in an airport.

all you have to do is causally lick your eyebrows and she will do the rest.

made up to look unremarkable? If the latter, does she dress to kill for the air flight and then change like SuperWoman in the taxi on the way to the hotel?

Dress to unimpress. Looking like aunt Jemima's unkempt sister

Ilara, you are going to have a hell of a time looking unkempt....j/s

Lol! We need to sit and watch me check in, lol....thank you and Happy Holidays!!! Xo
